This has been quite a day. There are several items coming up in the following weeks. Please be sure to check the google calendar and your child's planner pages. This Thursday is our Kansas Day Celebration. This will be an all day celebration, with a 2 hour break in between for lunches and recess. We have several presenters that the students will see. Happy 150th birthday Kansas!
Costumes for Wax Museum need to be at the school by Wed February 2nd for dress rehearsal at 11. If you will not be able to make it Friday February 4th for Wax Museum you are welcome to attend my classes dress rehearsal. If you are having troubles coming up with a costume please let me know so that I can gather the required materials. Please remember we do not expect you to spend money. If you are choosing to buy costume pieces I recommend shopping at good will and thrift stores. (To bad it isn't garage sale season!)
We are currently in need of some old fashioned spectacles (glasses for my students who still don't know what the word spectacle means), football clothes (we have 2 students who are portraying football players and have no football clothing), and art supplies such as an easel, paint pallet, etc. Thanks for helping us out!
In math we are working with probability. Is it certain, likely, very likely, 50-50 chance, unlikely, very unlikely, or impossible to achieve. We have also started working with basic fractions. Please continue working with your child on count bys (2,4,6,8,10, 12... these are count bys of 2s) One way is to have your child practice saying them in their head while they brush their teeth. Your child should know all of their count bys through 10s. So all the way up to the number times 10 for each number 1-10.
In reading we talked about problem/solution text. We will also continue talking about main idea and details.
We have state testing starting the last week of February! This is quickly approaching. I haven't seen the official testing schedule yet, but please know that it is coming!
My students did finally earn their class party. We will be doing this February 4th before Wax Museum. The kids voted and decided that they want to watch Alpha and Omega for their party. They are allowed to wear pjs or bring a stuffed animal/pillow. We also won the Scentsy Pizza Party. We will do this the same day as our movie. (I might also bring in cupcakes for my birthday, haven't decided yet.) This pizza party will not replace school lunch.

Students need to practice
consonant blends. These
are two consonants whose
sounds are blended together.
For example:
dr br cl th tr sk sl
fr pl
Have your child find words
that demonstrate these blends.
